2nd School on Manganese Ferroalloy Production
27–28 June 2016, Mintek, Randburg
South Africa has the largest, land-based, Mn-ore reserves, exploited by a number of mining companies. Although the country is primarily an exporter of manganese-bearing ores, it has four smelter complexes beneficiating ore by producing high carbon ferromanganese, medium carbon ferromanganese, and silico-manganese.
In South Africa, four smelter complexes are operated by Metalloys and Assmang (ferromanganese producers), and Transalloys and Mogale Alloys (silicomanganese producers).
In order to support the smelters, and foster collaboration between researchers in the field, the SAIMM hosted in 2012, a School on Manganese Ferroalloy Production. The school was presented by Prof. Merete Tangstad, and co-workers.
The 2nd School on Manganese Ferroalloy Production will build on the collaboration between South Africa and Norway, and between role players within the South African manganese industry, by including a larger number of local participants. The focus of the event will be the identification of techno economic challenges faced by role players in the South African manganese industry, and finding ways to address these challenges.

Delegates from the manganese ferro-alloy industry, or those who support them:
The intention is to include in the programme, panel discussions on identification of techno-economic
challenges faced by role players in the South African manganese industry, and finding ways to address these challenges.

MERETE TANGSTAD
Professor at NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology).
Merete took her Master degree and PhD degree at NTNU. In the following years, she worked for Elkem and Eramet, mostly within ferromanganese and silico-manganese production, and mainly with research within these processes. Since 2004, she has been a professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology within Material Science and Engineering, with the main emphasis on manganese ferro-alloy production, and upgrading metallurgical silicon to solar-grade silicon.
Merete is co-author of the definitive textbook on manganese ferroalloy production: Production of Manganese Ferroalloys, published by Tapir Press in Norway.
